it's absolutely critical to understand in this moment that people aren't largely reacting to who Charlie Kirk was as a person, but who they knew him as because of what tiny pieces of him got clipped out and stuck in their newsfeeds.
reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

If you were a Roman soldier whose leg had just been mangled by a barbarian, were you better off living with it or going under the surgeon’s knife? Just how dangerous was Roman surgery?

🏺 💅 Can anyone identify what I was going for with today's #maniarchaeology?
It's white salt glazed stoneware (British, mid-18th C.) with the dot-diaper-basketweave molded edge. As always, the texture is super tricky to achieve on nails, but improving!

This copper alloy arm purse found in the #Roman settlement of Nida (Frankfurt-Heddernheim) was used as a secure method to carry coins. To spend the money, the purse had to be removed from the arm.

A 6,000-year-old necklace with three marble pendants. The beads are made of jet and limestone, which results in a black and white contrast that is typical of the jewellery of the Neolithic Schussenried culture, which was widespread in southwest Germany.

Archeologists dig up cave people and remark approvingly that they looked after their vulnerable; a mark of civilization. Cf. Politicians who give exclusives where they opine about burying the most vulnerable in society. We're supposed to agree with the former while applauding the latter.
